Splendid Blue Fairy wren

What a charmer! What a colour. Our wrens are cute, but very plain in comparison!

Hi Steve,
I have been trying to see (let alone take a shot of) a hoopoe. They are very common in Spain. I have lived in Spain for 6 years. I have been out and about in the conditions they like. I have seen and taken photos of much rarer wildflife. But do you think I have ever seen a sodding hoopoe??????????
:o)

Andy i dont give up till i have my shot it may take me a years but i will get it in the end. i have seen the bird no matter what you need a 600mm lens to get the result but you never know when you least expect it it may just drop at your feet. never give up trying you think birds are bad try astro photography your window is tiny........ who would want too be a photographer. {:o)

thanks i cant think of a more stunning bird and its wild not on led tag on it at all. Steve
